    Author Notes:

    The Fairbanks choose acceptance, Dana chooses to just say yes, and Bette and Tina choose to separate.

    Sometimes the difference between good and bad is merely a matter of perspective. To a stranger, Dana Fairbanks looked deathly ill, which, in fact, she was when she left the hospital.  She was painfully under weight, she had trouble standing without assistance and her walk was an agonizingly slow shuffle. On the other hand, to those who knew she’d literally died three weeks earlier, Dana living proof that miracles do happen.

    The thing that annoyed Dana more than anything else was that her emotions were running amuck. When Alice broached the subject her first afternoon home, Dana had so much to say, she didn’t know where to start. And that triggered more tears.

    “It’s okay Dane. The shrink said it’ll get better once your brain and your body reboot themselves,” Alice said. “Personally, I think she spent too much time in the computer lab in high school. Anyway, I asked everyone to give us a few days and then call before coming over."

    “It’s better than it was,” Dana couldn’t bear the idea of being rude to their family, especially after the way they had rallied around them.

    “I know,” Alice reassured her, “but, for now, let’s follow the doctor’s advice. If we don’t, Diane will come over here and kick my ass.”

    Dana was determined to get herself into shape so she could take the third round of chemo as soon as possible. Though the mass on her right lung had stopped growing, it had also stopped shrinking. She had five weeks to go to the date Dr. Bowman had originally targeted, but Dana’s goal was to be strong enough to do it in three. Alice turned the guest room into a gym, outfitting it with a reclining elliptical machine, parallel bars and a floor mat. Harrison came by everyday to supplement the three times a week that the physical therapist came. After a week, the therapist had them come to the rehab center and got Dana into the pool.

    She forced herself to down nutritional drinks, but was grateful when the metal taste began to subside and she could appreciate the meals Lara sent over. Alice even spent some time in The Planet’s kitchen learning to cook some of Dana’s favorites. In three short weeks, Dana made remarkable progress physically. Dr. Bowman agreed to a compromise and scheduled Dana for her third round of the new chemo the following week.

    2. Awesome! I’m so freaking happy right now. Dana is cancer free…the way to be! You are a very talented writer, and I look forward to reading anything new that you have in mind. I can’t wait for more. I love it. Danish rocks!

    4. I’m so friggin glad that Dana beat the cancer:) She always was a fighter. It kinda sucked when Bette and Tina broke the news about their seperation so soon while Dana was still recovering. Also glad that everybody seems to be sticking together to help Dana. Can’t wait for the next!

    6. “Dana Fairbanks beat cancer!” Hell the fuck yeah! Ha ha. This was an awesome chapter! Fuck TLW! Who needs the real show when you have writers like you who actually give us hope and depth to the characters we’ve fallen in love with!

    7. Woohoo…to be told that your free of cancer [or any illness] must be the most amazing and exhilerating feeling ever!! I felt like having a little dance myself LOL. I love the way that all the gang are there for Dana, pulling her thru with all their love and care and doing whatever it takes to help her thru.. including Shane sharing the joint at one of her even darker moments, which was spot on!! Well Dana can only get stronger now and that means [in my soppy Danish head] they can just go from strength to strength, which makes me one happy bunny! yay! Once again great chapter. Thanks.

    10. I love this story so much! I read it at work today which I shouldn’t have, but whem I saw that you posted I couldn’t resist! So now I read it twice and all I can say is wow! Looking forward to the final chapter of this beautiful story and I’m curious to what the song will be. But I’m with Bojangles on this one, no Celine Dion song….ahhhh! great stuff my friend!
